Chapter 184 The beginning of collapse? ?
"I've already checked."
Mr Weasley replied coldly.
"...It seems that Weasley, you are very busy with official duties,... so many raids, and even Fauci actually asked you to go to the Knockturn Lane blog-Bojin shop... I am afraid that our Minister Fauci will pay you for overtime work!"
Lucius Malfoy sneered and walked in front of the MacGuffins, and then he seemed to see something... He bent down, reached into Ginny's cauldron, and pulled out a tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from the brand-new Lockhart book.
"Oh! It doesn't seem to be... What good is it for you to work so hard to be a wizard's scum if you don't have a good reward?"
Mr. Weasley blushed and almost rushed forward.
McGuffin didn't interrupt, instead he watched the scene, wondering if he could get the notebook (Horcrux) into his hand without anyone noticing.
"I think we have very different ideas of who is the scum among wizards! Malfoy," Mr. Weasley said, raising his voice.
"And in a few days, I will go to Malfoy Manor with the Aurors to 'visit'..."
"I think you also know...Lucius, I am very busy with official duties!...I am happy to do this kind of work without overtime pay, especially when I go to your house..."
"...Lucius, you should welcome the arrival of the Ministry of Magic!"
Lucius Malfoy looked terribly ugly as if he had been punched by Mr. Weasley.
"How dare you...how dare you insult and threaten the Malfoy family!" Draco Malfoy screamed from the side.
"Shut up! Draco!..." Lucius snapped.
Lucius Malfoy looked calm on his face, but judging from the way he almost broke the silver inlaid cane, this guy wanted to eat Weasley alive.
He stared coldly at Mr. Weasley in front of him, with a malicious gleam in his eyes.
Mr. Weasley didn't budge either, and the two stared at each other.
"Go!" McGuffin screamed in his heart.
For a moment, McGuffin almost thought that the two of them were going to fight, and he prepared in his heart, wanting to see which book Malfoy had caught that notebook (Horcrux) in the chaos, and if he could take it away while Ginny was not paying attention.
"Of course, I will use 'best wizarding etiquette' to welcome you from the Ministry of Magic..."
Malfoy's voice came out almost through his teeth, and his light-colored eyes rolled to look at the Grangers on the side.
"However, you'd better find some pure-blood wizards... I don't welcome the friends you make now...Although I have heard of it, Arthur Weasley...I thought your family had fallen to the extreme!"
finally--
Clang.
Ginny's cauldron flew out, and Mr. Weasley lunged at Lucius Malfoy, crashing into each other.
Bang, — puff!
The two pushed the desk and the books piled on it to the ground one after another, and dozens of thick books slammed on them and made a sound.
The bookstore is in chaos...
Shout out to Fred and George!
Ron calmed down, and hurriedly called his mother.
Mrs. Weasley pushed through the crowd and tried to stop, screaming, "Come on, Arthur!"
The clerks came over and took out their wands to separate the two, but hesitated.
The people who eat melons gathered more and more, and to a certain extent, they even attracted the attention of Lockhart Girod here.
McGuffin remembered that Hagrid came to stop the two of them at this time, and then it was Lucius who put the notebook into Ginny's book.
—Well, Hagrid! ?
McGuffin turned his head and looked outside——
What about people?Where did you go?
Wait, wait, wait until...
The lower half of Mr. Weasley's face, which Malfoy had punched, was covered in blood, and it seemed that his nose was broken, and it seemed that he had just spit out two teeth.
Mr. Weasley didn't suffer either, Lucius Malfoy couldn't open both of his eyes after being hammered.
——shiri!Haven't these two guys ever had a fight?
"I'm going, I'm really convinced!... These two wizards are too real!"
Why are you just staring at one place to fight!And greeted on the face.
The corners of McGuffin's eyes twitched. He watched the two powerful wizards become bruised and swollen in no time. They looked somewhat similar to Dobby's house elf.
—Hagrid!where is hagrid?
McGuffin waited for a long time, but Hagrid didn't come over like in the original book.
Yep, it's the butterfly effect again!
They couldn't wait any longer, the two of them saw that they were fighting beyond recognition, and they couldn't even recognize TM after going down for a while.
McGuffin secretly cast [Levitation Curse], and the two of them immediately floated in the air.
It rose into mid-air, and then fell heavily again.
"Aha! Weasley, someone in your family used magic, used magic to attack a noble pure-blood wizard in Diagon Alley, you just wait to be expelled from the Ministry of Magic! I will go back to the Ministry of Magic's Law Department to appeal!"
Lucius stood up hurriedly and said.
But then he glanced around and saw no one waving his wand, "Draco, you saw someone cast a spell!"
Lucius Malfoy took out his wand and tried to heal his face, but found that things were blurry, and even his left eye was swollen 'very round', making him unable to see at all.
At this time, Mrs. Weasley just used a beautiful healing spell to heal the bridge of the nose and the swollen mouth of Mr. Weasley, but the two front teeth were still not connected, and his face was covered with blood, which looked a bit like the bloody Barrow.
"Draco, who cast the magic!" Lucius asked again with his eyes narrowed (-o-).
"Come on! Malfoy, no one has pulled out a wand, everyone here has seen it." Mr. Weasley touched his face and explained coldly why Draco Malfoy didn't answer this question.
Mr. Weasley's voice was a bit leaky, and he covered his mouth when he said it.
Mrs. Weasley next to him used a spell to restore the books on the ground and the desk to their original state... Only then did they discover the two broken teeth.
At this time, Lucius Malfoy finally used the magic wand to remove some of the swelling on his face, and he was able to open his eyes and see the current situation clearly.
After being confirmed by Draco Malfoy - no wizard took out his wand to cast a spell, Lucius' face was gloomy and dripping.
He picked up Ginny's tattered Transfiguration textbook from under his feet, and thrust the book into her hand.
McGuffin's eyes lit up and he stared carefully.
"No, little girl, this is the best thing your father can give you!"
Then he pushed aside the blocking of the clerk, waved to Draco, and rushed out of the store.
After Lucius Malfoy left...
Ok?
Something is not right!
This is so...
What the hell went wrong.
McGuffin was dumbfounded. He watched Lucius Malfoy leave just like that, making Mr. Weasley very angry. Although it looked exactly the same as what happened in the original plot, but...
"I have such a big Horcrux, why is it gone, was it eaten by someone?"
There was no trace of a notebook in the Transfiguration textbook at all, McGuffin can guarantee this, he has been staring at it from beginning to end without relaxing, Lucius Malfoy has no other chance to mix that Horcrux into Ginny's textbook again.
—Where did you go?
Gan!
……
McGuffin carefully flipped through the books in Ginny's cauldron—there was no Tom Riddle's notebook.
(Now McGuffin has lost his mind a little bit, and doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.)
Bang Dang, his legs went limp, and he wanted to sit on the stool, but he squatted down and fell to the ground, and someone turned his back on his back.
I'm so...
"This is to play me to death!"
"This isn't a butterfly effect, what the hell... It's just a hurricane hitting me in the face!"
McGuffin was at a loss, his hands and feet were cold... Only then did he realize how much he relied on the original plot.
——Where is the Horcrux?
—Why didn't Lucius Malfoy slip the notebook into Ginny's textbooks?
——Could it still be in Malfoy's hands...or was it given to other students, and after going to Hogwarts, the [Chamber of Secrets] Basilisk incident will happen?
[○｀Д○][_?][_?]
McGuffin wanted to explode, but still had no clue.
Ginny looked at this Ron's best friend - MacGuffin Albert!
He looked a bit strange, a bit like the crazy Muggle in the story, I really couldn't figure out what he was thinking...
I don’t know why, on the way back, McGuffin suddenly became attentive, very eager, and even a bit irresistible to help him get the crucible and the textbooks in it.
When I returned to [The Burrow], it seemed that I was looking for something inside, and then I suddenly fell to the ground, with a frustrated face or...panic?
At this time, the Weasleys, McGuffins, and Harry had returned to the Burrow through Floo powder.
After the incident happened an hour ago, no one was in the mood to visit Diagon Alley anymore.
After McGuffin, Harry and the others hastily bought what they needed, they separated from the Grangers and Hermione, and they were going back to the city, to the Muggle streets over there.
Originally, Mr. Weasley still wanted to grab Mr. Granger for a drink—ask the dentist how to treat toothache?Especially those weird tools.
But what happened today made it really not a good atmosphere for chatting, and the Grangers probably weren't in the mood to talk about it.
And Mrs. Weasley was very angry at Mr. Weasley for setting a good example for her sons... Of course, I don't know how much of her anger is related to-Mr. Weasley messed up the signing of her idol Gilderoy Lockhart on the spot.
"Good head start for the kids... fighting in public... what do you make Gilderoy Lockhart think!" said Mrs Weasley.
"He's so happy," Fred said desperately, "Didn't you hear us come out? Gilderoy is looking for that guy from the [Daily Prophet], and he's not talking excitedly with the bookstore owner... He wants to include the fight in the report—say it will cause a sensation!"
"By the way, who cast the [Levitation Curse] in the end! Is it you... Fred, or George!" Mr. Weasley hurriedly changed the subject, preventing Fred from committing death, and said with a serious expression.
"At that time, everyone was watching, and it wasn't us who took out the wand at all!"
Harry asked strangely, "No, in that situation just now... what happened to casting a spell, wouldn't it be wrong?"
Ron explained, "It is against the laws of the Ministry of Magic to cast a spell against another wizard in the public hall. Even if the spell is not harmful at all, even if it saves lives,...it will be regarded as a provocation. Even if the wizard pulls out his wand and proposes a life-and-death duel with you, people will generally think it is a natural tradition!"
Harry opened his mouth in disbelief.
"You haven't heard of this, have you? Harry! These things are the default customs in the wizarding world. Generally speaking... In front of most wizards, no one will easily use a wand to point at another wizard. You have to keep this in mind... Harry, MacGuffin!" Mr. Weasley taught two young wizards who had just entered the wizarding world for a year.
"So, those clerks in the bookstore dare not cast a spell and separate them?" McGuffin thought in his heart after hearing this, but what he cares most now is the books in the crucible he just got in his hand, to see if he can know the notebook (Horcrux) in it-this is the top priority!
When they got to the Broken Axe, they saw Hagrid.
At that time he was arguing with the hotel owner Tom.
It seemed that Hagrid was going to bring a bag of three-horned goat droppings into the bar, which made Tom very angry, and he refused to bring this kind of thing into his bar.
Afterwards, he saw Harry and, of course, Mr. Weasley with his front teeth falling out and his mouth full of air.
Hagrid was very surprised, and after hearing about the confrontation with Lucius Malfoy, he also didn't think Weasley should have rushed forward.
"The Malfoy family is so bad, their whole family is, even every drop of blood is so flowing, their words are not worth listening to at all!"
Finally, they parted ways with Hagrid and returned to the Burrow through the fireplace in the Broken Axe.
And then it's now...
The McGuffin made a sudden noise, startling everyone.
Mrs. Weasley even put two of Mr. Weasley's front teeth crookedly. It was originally the upper front tooth... But with a trembling hand, she used her wand to connect it to the bottom.
Like a mouse, it sticks out its mouth long (the two front teeth on the bottom cover the upper lip), and it keeps growing...
"Molly, Molly!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed, but the draft in his mouth and the front teeth that grew almost to his nose made his voice as indistinct as some kind of rap mixed with boiling something.
As for Mrs. Weasley, she looked back to see what had happened to the McGuffin, and she turned her head again when she heard more and more anxious shouts.
"This!"
After a while of fuss, he finally reattached Mr. Weasley's two front teeth.
Mr. Weasley also washed up, and his face was no longer so bloodstained.
At this time, McGuffin has come to his senses after such a fall.
He understands!
——I love you so much!
"TMD, the big deal is that labor and capital even wear glasses when they sleep, so that even if they see the basilisk being petrified, they can be rescued."
Even if the plot collapses, Dumbledore's boss is still there to support it.
——Just be careful yourself.
--I guess so?
